    Default It's top 25 time yet again

    Always good for a chuckle. http://top25.cigaraficionado.com/

    We already have a heavy advertiser, a token Cuban (but a good one IMHO), and a Serie V. Look for a Padron, a Fuente, and...

    #10 - a we-advertise-a-lot General Cigar Honduran
    #9 - token Cuban #1
    #8 - inevitable Oliva V-of-some-sort
    #7 - we-advertise-lots-too Drew Estate
    #6 - inevitable Fuente-of-some-sort
    #5 - inevitable Padron-of-some-sort
    #4 - we had Dion Giolito last year, so this year let's go with EPC
    #3 - token Cuban #2
    #2 - we-advertise-even-more Rocky
    #1 - we had Garcia last year, so this year let's go with Litto Gomez

    Did they just phone it in this year? Did Garcia cut their advertising budget?

    So, no beloved Padrons made the list?
    I didn't even look.

    Thanks for the chuckle Craig!

    So, the full list is out.
    - Garcia must have really PO'd someone at CA. The only Garcias are an Ashton La Aroma de Cuba something at a perhaps not-coincidental #13; and, winner of the biggest band award (I think), and most acronyms found outside a Gioloto cigar (for sure), the El Centurion H-2K-CT Toro (#16)
    - Dion Gioloto got bumped down from #4 last year to #24. There's a horse head in your bed - get that advertising budget up!
    - Up and coming Fernandez is #11 - this is the Fernandez family associated with Aganorsa, which controls much of Nicaragua's tobacco crop. They only sold tobacco before, and almost everyone kissed their a*ses to ensure getting good Nic tobacco. This will be an interesting brand for lovers of Nicaraguan tobacco if the Fernandez' use their good tobacco for their own cigars ...
    - in what appears to be Father/son year, the other Fernandez (AJ) is represented by a blend of his father's, Enclave (#20), and Fuente gets a second cigar in one blended by Mr. Fuente Sr (RIP), Casa Cuba (#23) - which is also the only cigar in the whole 25 that piqued my interest.
    - Names back from the dead include machine-made names Villiger (#21) and Henry Clay (#22)
    - oh yeah, token Cuban #3 was the Siglo VI at #19, which is the only cigar of the top 25 that is in my cooler.

    Just imagine what would happen if the Cubans could buy advertising in CA!
